SAT SAT 10:00 Kiri Te Kanawa's Favourite Mozart Arias b00x1r64 (Listen) SAT Dame Kiri Te Kanawa made her break through as a Mozart SAT singer and went on to become a world-renowned Countess, SAT Donna Elvira and Fiordiligi. She talks about the Mozart SAT arias that mean the most to her, including music from The SAT Marriage of Figaro, Don Giovanni and Cosi fan tutte. SAT (Produced by Clive Portbury). SAT SAT 11:00 Mozart by Mackerras b00x89tr (Listen) SAT The Australian conductor Sir Charles Mackerras, who died SAT last July, was one of the most ardent advocates of Mozart's SAT music in modern times. He left behind a wealth of SAT recordings. As part of our The Genius of Mozart season, SAT Petroc Trelawny plays a selection of Mackerras's Mozart and SAT asks what made him such a great Mozartean. SAT SAT 12:00 Donald Macleod's Mozart b00x1rc6 (Listen) SAT Opera SAT SAT Donald Macleod maps out Mozart's life-story, and tries to SAT fathom why for him Mozart's music will always remain a SAT constant companion. Today Donald mixes two of his favourite SAT passions: Mozart and Opera, and selects music from Zaide, SAT The Seraglio, Idomeneo, Don Giovanni, Cosi and The Marriage SAT of Figaro. SAT SAT 13:00 Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert b00x1rc8 (Listen) SAT The Genius of Mozart, BBC NOW, Jennifer Pike SAT SAT Catrin Finch presents a live concert from BBC Hoddinott Hall SAT in Cardiff as part of Radio 3's celebration of The Genius of SAT Mozart. SAT SAT Violinist Jennifer, a recent graduate of Radio 3's New SAT Generation Artist scheme, joins the BBC National Orchestra SAT of Wales for Mozart's fifth and final violin concerto. SAT Mozart's prowess as a violinist is often overshadowed by his SAT pianistic virtuosity, but it's quite possible he wrote this SAT concerto to play himself. One early soloist commented that SAT the middle movement was 'too clever by half', but it's the SAT finale that's catches most attention today, as it suddenly SAT lurches into the 'Turkish' (or more accurately SAT Hungarian-inspired) style - and the nickname has stuck. SAT SAT Conductor Garry Walker is no stranger to Mozart, last season SAT he visited the St David's Festival in West Wales with the SAT orchestra, taking the 'Haffner' symphony. Today he conducts SAT the players in Symphony No. 25, written when Mozart was a SAT teenager. It's his first symphony in a minor key, and maybe SAT the passion and turbulence we hear in the outer movements a SAT young man struggling out of his adolescence.

SAT SAT 14:00 Opera on 3 b00x1rfr (Listen) SAT Cosi fan Tutte SAT SAT Sir Colin Davis conducts an exceptional recording of one of SAT Mozart's wittiest operas, with a superlative cast, including SAT Kiri Te Kanawa and Agnes Baltsa. Davis's finely polished SAT account of the score deftly balances the humanity, irony, SAT pain and humour of Da Ponte's complex battle of the sexes. SAT SAT When two army officers claim to be certain that their SAT fiancés will be eternally faithful, Don Alfonso cannot SAT resist the urge to prove them wrong. It will take him only a SAT day, he claims, to prove that these - like all women - are SAT fickle. His wager is accepted, and from then on, things get SAT complicated. SAT SAT Ferrando .....

SAT SAT 17:30 The Early Music Show b00x1rft (Listen) SAT Mozart and Metastasio SAT SAT As part of the "Genius of Mozart" season, Catherine Bott SAT presents a programme focusing on the Italian poet, SAT librettist and moralist Pietro Trapassi, aka Metastasio, SAT through Mozart's four settings of his texts. Two of these SAT texts, 'Il sogno di Scipione' and 'Lucio Silla' (written by SAT Giovanni de Gamerra and adapted by Metastasio), were written SAT in 1771 when Mozart was still only 16, in between trips to SAT Italy. Metastasio wrote his text 'Il re Pastore' in 1751, SAT and it had been set 14 times before Mozart chose it. The SAT fourth of Mozart's settings turned out to be one of his SAT final works, 'La Clemenza di Tito', written in the summer of SAT 1791; twelve weeks after the first performance Mozart was SAT dead. Catherine Bott reflects on the settings of these texts SAT and plays music from each of the four works.

As well as WED pioneering the use of original instruments in WED historically-informed performances of Mozart's music, WED Gardiner has conducted many Mozart productions in opera WED houses using modern instruments. He reflects on the changes WED in approach to performing Mozart's music, especially in the WED opera house, the particular challenges of dramatic pacing in WED Mozart's operas, and the similarities and differences in WED approach between conducting Mozart's operas and his concert WED music. WED WED 12:00 Donald Macleod's Mozart b00x31lc (Listen) WED 1791 WED WED Donald Macleod maps out Mozart's life-story, plays many of WED his favourite works and trys to fathom why for him Mozart's WED music will always remain a constant companion. Today Donald WED takes a broad view of Mozart's last year - 1791, a year that WED began full of promise but transformed into one of the WED saddest in the history of music. WED WED 13:00 Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert b00x1smq (Listen) WED The Genius of Mozart, St James's Baroque - Mozart Sacred WED Music WED WED BBC Singers WED St James's Baroque WED Paul Brough conductor WED WED Live from St Paul's Church, Knightsbridge, London WED WED Ave verum K618 WED God is our refuge K20 WED Kyrie K33 WED Church Sonata in D major K69 WED Veni Sancte Spiritus K47 WED Laudate Dominum K339 WED Church Sonata in C major K328 WED Mass in C major 'Coronation' K317 WED WED The BBC Singers join forces with period-instrument orchestra WED St James's Baroque for a concert of sacred music from every WED decade of Mozart's life. The programme ranges from his very WED first sacred work ('God is our refuge' - composed by the WED eight-year old Mozart in July 1765 after a visit with his WED family to the recently-opened British Museum), to one of his WED last (the 'Ave verum corpus', a deeply serene setting of WED Latin words which he composed in July 1791, only a few WED months before his death). In between, comes music from WED Mozart's years in Salzburg, where he was employed by the WED city's Prince Archbishop. Mozart spent this period as a WED liveried servant in the Archbishop's household (higher in WED rank than the cooks but lower than the valets, as he rather WED ruefully observed) and his lack of status, combined with the WED creative restrictions imposed by the Archbishop's WED preferences in liturgical music, led to the famous bust-up WED with his princely employer which culminated - the story goes WED - in Mozart being physically kicked out of the Archbishop's WED palace. Nonetheless, that period gave rise to some of WED Mozart's most exquisite sacred music, including, in this WED concert, the wonderful 'Laudate dominum' from one of his WED Vespers settings, and the famous Coronation Mass whose WED final, heartbreaking, Agnus Dei points forward to the music WED Mozart would later write for one of his most unforgettable WED operatic characters - the Countess in 'The Marriage of WED Figaro'.

THU THU If you are in search of a good role model, an example of a THU life well spent, well navigated, look to George Frideric THU Handel's seventy-four years. From day one this divinely THU musical and decisive Saxon instinctively knew where to take THU himself and who to please. THU THU Donald Macleod is joined by Suzanne Aspden, a Handel expert THU from Oxford University armed with the latest in Handel THU scholarship. Faced with hours of Handel's sublime music and THU the composer's eventful life story they've whisked up a THU focus on Handel the borrower of his own and others' music - THU with a look at Agrippina the opera that so impressed Venice, THU and an electric peformance of Dixit Dominus. They discuss THU Handel the politician, how the composer was adopted in THU England and found long-term favour with the new Hanoverian THU monarchy. THU THU Some of the most arresting moments from Handel's operas THU Radamisto, Admeto, Partenope, and Ariodante dominate the THU third programme, a look at Handel the resourceful 'Opera THU divo'. And with ravishing music from his oratorios Esther, THU Saul, Samson and Messiah, Handel as 'Man of God' is also THU exposed, revealing the composer's ability to twist a ban on THU staging Biblical texts to his advantage. THU THU Today the spirit of Handel lives on and in the final THU programme 'The Idea of Handel' Donald and Suzanne broadcast THU 'The Anthem for the Foundling Hospital', the Violin Sonata THU in D Op.1 and a saucy aria from Semele, as they exhibit how THU the reputation of this great composer has evolved over the THU centuries.

The profound and THU wistful Cello Concerto, played by one of the great British THU cellists, Steven Isserlis, was the last major work that THU Elgar wrote. 'Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme' was composed by THU Strauss as incidental music for Molière's play of the same THU name, originally with the ambitious idea of staging it THU together with the opera Ariadne auf Naxos in the same THU evening. Strauss included some arrangements of the music of THU Lully within it. Schreker was one of Vienna's most important THU composers in the same period, and in this luscious chamber THU symphony he makes full use of the mere 23 instruments THU involved.

THU THU 21:00 Music Planet b00x31t3 (Listen) THU Oceans THU THU For this major series to accompany BBC One's 'Human Planet', THU Andy Kershaw and Lucy Duran go trekking across the globe to THU bring us music from the peoples of some of the world's THU remotest regions, visiting many of the places featured in THU the TV series. This week the focus is on the music of ocean THU communities. THU THU Galicia: Galicians consider themselves Celts, linked by sea THU travel with peoples in Northern France, Ireland and THU Scotland. Lucy Duran meets leading piper Xosé Manuel Budiño, THU and is invited to the village of Cebreiro for a party THU celebrating Celtic culture. THU THU Papua New Guinea: Andy Kershaw goes shark fishing with THU Blais, the singing shark caller from Tembin Village, to the THU accompaniment of the villagers, who encourage them with a THU unique repertory of shark-calling songs. THU THU Brazil: Lucy Duran visits the coastal city of Salvador da THU Bahia, the ancient capital of Camdomblé. This is the THU religion that uses old African customs and languages - it's THU practised on the seashore looking across to Africa, and the THU sea and its shells are crucial to the liturgy, and its music THU too. THU THU Solomon Islands: Andy Kershaw gets the gospel: the Deep Sea THU Canoe Movement is dedicated to keeping up continuous worship THU 24 hours a day on the paradise island of Malaita. THU THU Producers: Roger Short and James Parkin. THU THU The series accompanies and visits the same destinations as THU BBC One's Human Planet, a new landmark anthropological THU series celebrating man's remarkable ingenuity in using and THU adapting to his environment. THU THU Music Planet will offer the chance to gain a deeper THU understanding of the cultures witnessed on BBC One's Human THU Planet by experiencing their music, sounds and songs. THU THU From the jungles of Papua New Guinea to the deserts of Mali; THU from the heart of the Amazon to the islands of the Pacific; THU from the dark winter days of Greenland to the long summer THU nights of Arctic Norway; from the dried-up rivers of Kenya THU to the grasslands of Mongolia, Music Planet gives the THU listeners unique access to sounds from around the world, THU captured in high-quality sound by the BBC's top music THU recording engineers. And throughout, Andy Kershaw and Lucy THU Duran bring their own special insights to what we're THU hearing. THU THU Key moments for the series include a traditional THU head-hunting song from New Ireland in Papua New Guinea; the THU mighty voice of Greenland's greatest singer; the story of THU the Mangue-bit movement in Recife, Brazil; yodelling in the THU Swiss Alps; rapping in Dubai; an Inuit throat-singing duet, THU recorded by the frozen Arctic Sea; and the secret songs of THU Burma recorded in the jungle on the border with Thailand. THU THU 21:02 THU THU Galicians are linked by sea travel with Northern France, THU Ireland and Scotland. Lucy Duran meets piper Xosé Manuel THU Budiño, and is invited to Cebreiro for a party celebrating THU Celtic culture. THU 21:17 THU THU Andy Kershaw goes fishing with Blais, the singing shark THU caller from Tembin Village, who attempts to lure sharks with THU a unique repertory of songs. THU 21:31 THU THU Lucy Duran visits the coastal city of Salvador da Bahia. THU Here she learns about the Camdomblé religion practiced on THU the seashore where the sea and music are crucial to the THU liturgy. THU 21:46 THU THU Andy Kershaw encounters a Deep Sea Canoe Movement, a THU community who are dedicated to continuous, 24 hours a day, THU worship on the paradise island of Malaita in the Solomon THU Islands. THU THU 22:00 Composer of the Week b00td8j5 (Listen) THU [Repeat of broadcast at 12:00 today] THU THU 23:00 The Essay b00r8cn9 (Listen) THU Land and Sea and Sky, Michael Bird THU THU Michael Bird writes books about the visual arts, so St Ives THU is a good place to be. In his essay he explores how the THU constant transformations of what he sees, the land in the THU light, the weather, the breaking waves, even the people, THU have a rejuvenating, inspirational impact on him. Bird's THU essay was recorded in the streets leading down to the water, THU on Porthmeor Beach, on the cliff path leading to Land's End, THU along the run he takes to focus his thoughts. Unusually, but THU importantly, for a writer, he lives where the visual rather THU than the verbal, takes precedence. In St Ives one sees, then THU writes, rather than the other way around. And Michael Bird THU puzzles on his personal jouney, on how he came to be living THU in the far southwest, where land and sea and sky meet so THU dramatically.

FRI FRI 19:55 Twenty Minutes b00x21pk (Listen) FRI A Marginal History FRI FRI Justin Champion rummages through public and academic FRI libraries to see how the defacing of books over centuries of FRI reading sheds light on the history of reading and FRI information. FRI FRI We've all been brought up to believe that writing in books FRI is literary sacrilege: small children are still told off for FRI colouring in their own books. How many hearts have sunk when FRI opening a library book to find biro underlining, marginal FRI commentary, or plain simple abuse? FRI FRI The rules and regulations of public libraries sternly FRI outline the penalties and punishment for such crimes. The FRI modern obsession with the unmarked book has been famously FRI broken by a few notorious readers: Joe Orton and his FRI partner, Kenneth Halliwell, served a four month sentence for FRI defacing library books. In 1959 they began a two year FRI campaign of stealing and defacing books from the Islington FRI public library, then smuggling them back into the stacks, FRI where they shocked and appalled patrons and staff alike. FRI FRI Surprisingly though this passion for the clean page is a FRI recent cultural attitude: it is a consequence of the FRI increasing commodification of the trade in second hand and FRI rare books - books without marks simply command a greater FRI price. Book dealers used to crop marginalia from their FRI titles to increase their value. FRI FRI In the past it was different: annotating, marking, and FRI including marginal comments was approved and encouraged. FRI There were handbooks explaining the best way of doing it. FRI Historians of the book have only very recently recognised FRI that these marks in books are the surviving traces of how FRI real readers encountered books. FRI FRI In A Marginal History, Justin Champion and Bill Sherman look FRI in the margins of some of the intriguing books and FRI manuscripts in the British Library's collection to shed FRI light on this practice of marking books.

He is much concerned with English identity and our FRI relationship with the land (his album 'Trespasser' is a FRI musical examination of enclosure as a continuing affront). FRI Exploring such themes Wood draws on the ancient storytelling FRI of traditional song, engages with our very nature in 'Turtle FRI Song' - a new song written for the recent Darwin anniversary FRI - and place (there's even a song about his allotment). He FRI has always lived in Faversham and recorded on location here FRI in Kent's creek, mudflat region, his essay explores how the FRI sea snaking far inland the vast sky and the Dickensian FRI marshes have all shaped his sensibility and concerns.
